The Debt Settlement.

There was this morning very little OF in
terest in connection with the debt commits
sion other than published in Saturdays
GAZETTE. Speaker Stuart declined to he in
terviewed upon the subject, but expressed
the hope that conclusion of this question
ould be arrived at While nothing posi-
tive has been decided on, it is evident that
some proposition has been made by the
bondholders which brings them and the
State much more closely together. The
legislative committee on Saturday received
a written proposition from Messrs. Thorn
ton and Braithwaite that the State settle
with her creditors on the basis of
an annual interest charge of 100000.
The undiminished principal of the public
debt of Virginia with capitalization of in
terest exceeds S35,000,000 but the State
owns moro than S2,250,00O OF new 3's,
bought with the surplus in the Treasury;
the o. S. Government holds bonds and ac-
cumulated interest to the amount of 81 ,300,-
900, which the State will never be called
upon to pay, us Virginia has an offset for
more than that amount on account Of 1872
war claims. and the State owns stock in the
Fredericksburg road to a very large amount,
which can be sold and made to reduce the
principal OF the debt. Altogether it is con-
tended by the bondholders that the State
can at any moment abate the principal TO
less than S30,000,000.

GENERAL JOHNSTON, having publicly as
sumed all responsibility for the disastrous
failure of the Confederates to advance upon
Washington Immediately afterlthe first bat
tie of Manassas, ex-President Davis in his
reply to General Wolseeg's recent article
on General Lee, says: THAT in the night
after the battle inquired what, if any, or
ders had been given for pursuit, and after
learning none had been given, aud after
some further inquiries, dictated an order for
General Bonbam to move forward with his
brigade ut the first dawn OF day Had that
order been executed no body can tell what
might have been The result Of The wax; but
that Washington would have been captured
as General Wolseey says would have
been the case. was well known to every
BODY in the defeated army aud in Washing
ton at that time.

GENERAL HALsTEAD ON DAvIs.-Murat
Halstead. Of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga.
zette, prints q structure on Mr. Jefferson
Davs's historical inaccuracy in that gentle.
mans recent criticism of Gen. Wolseley on
Lee at Fredericksburg. Mr. Halstead main
tains Wolseley was right. He sharply crit
icizes Davis for speaking Of two federal ar.
mics. He says, in substance: "Mr. Davis,
in criticising Lord Wolseley for saying that
Burnside's army was in a tight place. at
Fredericksburg and allowed to escape, falls
into strange error, which he repeats and
dwells upon. of assuming that there were
two national armies one under Burnside
and another within supporting distance
under Hooker, and out of this the
ory of two armies Mr.. Davis makes the as
ssrtion that Burrside's troops were 10
tight place. Hooker did not have an indie
pendent command He had charge of one
Of the three grand divisions of Burnslde's
army. The other two were under Franklin
and Sumner. Hooker was in the battle Of
the first day, personally giving orders to
Humphreys that be had received from
Burnside to continue the hopeless attack
upon the stone wall. and vainly attempting
to support it with artillery. Stonewali
Jackson is reported to have advised night
attack on the troops in Fredericksburg, and
if he had known how greatly they had been
damaged he would almost certainly have
made the attack. There is no doubt that
after their repulse they were in dangerous
situation, justifying Wolseley's phrase Of q
tight place

NOTWITHSTANDING the high duty OF iron

From private intelligence received here
from Richmond to day it is learned that the

Saturday last. The bondholders have, ac-
: cording to the news referred to. abated their
demand to the amount OF the Rddle5erger
bill, plus the accrued and overdue interest
on that amount, the annual amount OF in
terest on the whole of which will be about
seven hundr,ed and fifty thousand dollars.

MR.. HALsrEAD, of the Cincinnati COM

Union army waS in 4 tight place there, and
saws il the Confederate had !nown how
tight they would have made the night at

failure to follow up the advantages gained
at Manassas and at Fredericksburg did no

MONDAY EVENING, MAY 9.

SOME OF the most pronounced protection
lists in. az we'll as out of, Congress, are IN Ia
yor of removing all restrictions upon trade
between this country and Canada, saying
what everybody knows is true, that under
sucb condition the trade between the two
countries would be greatly increased, to the
advantage of both, and would approximate
in proportion that between the North and
the South. But, in saying this, they, in po-
lice parlance, "give themselves away, "..tor If
free trade with one country would be ad-
vantageous to the United States, why wonid
If not be so with another, or with several
others? Every intelligent man knows that
free Grade between Virginia and Maryland
ia hene6cial to both States No disinterest-
ed man really doubts that it would be so be-
tween this country and Mexico, and this
country and the Central and South Amer
lean States; and if so with some, why not
with all the countries of the world? But
still the voters OF this country will continue
tn allow the owners of few disadvantage
onsly located mines and factories to deceive
them with the erroneous statement that
protection enhances The price OF labor,
though If they have sense enough to know
what is going on before their eyes, they
must know that labor is lowest in the most
protected, and highest in the least protected
industries Of the country.
